Gas Springs for Bay Doors

(1/4) > >>

Stan Simpson:
I need to replace some of the gas struts in a couple of bays where the doors go up instead of sideways. I'm attaching a picture of one that I removed. The length is the easy part. I can't find anywhere that says what the .lbs of pressure is, and I assume that its different for different sized doors.

Does anyone have an idea what the pressure is for the water bay door, and the one directly left of it, and the two doors that come out with the roadside front slide?

Thanks,

Stan

Doug Neal:
I don't see anything that indicates PSI to me. Since I have a 03 Contessa I can't tell you what the psi of the doors are because I don't know the width of them. If you send me the info I can supply the PSI. I also have a web site you can order from on my laptop.

Stan Simpson:
Cool Doug, thanks.

I'll be at the coach later today or tomorrow and will measure the width of the doors.

Stan,
The larger doors are usually 60 psi. 80 psi will also work. The smaller doors i.e. electrical bay, is usually a 40psi. I got mine at R&P Carriages via ebay.

Doug Neal:
I agree with Steve as to PSI of different doors. I have purchased from the same company as he did. Received prompt shipping, quality product and good price.
